Yeouido Park is home to one of the large King Sejong statues in Seoul. Sejong is the king credited with inventing Hangul, the form of writing (and alphabet) used in Korea. This makes Hangul one of the few linguistic written forms that is covered conclusively by historians. Sejong is also currently on the 10,000 KRW banknote in South Korea.
